| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 222am PDT Sat August 8 2026 Synopsis Warm and dry conditions continue today, but temperatures are expected to gradually moderate toward August norms by Sunday, continuing into early next week. Renewed onshore flow will keep smoke east of the Cascades, while precipitation chances remain very low through at least the middle of next week. Temperatures are likely to trend warmer again late next week. Today through Friday Broad high pressure over the region today will maintain warm and dry conditions with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s inland. A weak shortwave trough will bring a few high clouds across the area this morning while marine stratus likely remains at the coast, with afternoon sun expected. Another round of onshore flow will bring breezy northwest winds later this afternoon and evening. While winds from the west/northwest generally remain around 15 mph or weaker across most areas, the breeziest locations will be along the Central Columbia River Gorge and portions of the Upper Hood River Valley where gap winds are forecast to gust up to 30-35 mph, with a 20-30% chance for gusts exceeding 40 mph. Combined with low relative humidity and dry fuels, these conditions would be favorable for rapid fire spread. NWS Pendleton has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Central Gorge and portions of Eastern Hood River County, in effect through 11pm Saturday. Elsewhere across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington, higher relative humidity and weaker winds will not be favorable for rapid fire spread. There is high confidence temperatures trend a few degrees cooler into the low to mid 80s Sunday through early next week as a more zonal flow pattern emerges. Majority of ensemble members show a weak trough approaching the Pacific Northwest middle of next week, however, it appears to be a dry trough with no precipitation chances expected. Ensemble clusters indicate increasing probabilities for a steeper ridge developing offshore late next week, which would allow for temperatures to warm again into the upper 80s to lower 90s potentially. DH/10 Marine High pressure offshore will maintain northerly winds through the weekend and into next week. Winds will remain 20 kt or less through this morning. Surface pressure gradients will then tighten this afternoon, bringing increased chances for wind gusts up to 25 kt south of Cape Foulweather through the weekend and into early next week. Specifically, there is a 40% chance for small craft wind gusts today south of Cape Foulweather, then increased chances of 50-70% on Sunday. Wind driven seas are expected to remain around 4 to 6 ft through the next week. /DH NOAA Portland OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...None. WA...None. PZ...None. |
